It's gotta be a conspiracy. What are the odds that the pick-3 numbers will be 9-1-1 on 9-11?

I'm starting to think Jomailman might be right.

It is odd isn't it. 9-1-1 drawn on 9-1-1 and in New York. go figure!

the odds are 1-1000 come on Mike that's an easy one...and I don't believe that it was a random act...

Actually, the odds are much worse.

The numbers were pulled in that order, 9, then 1, then 1.

Not 1-9-1 or 1-1-9.

So that alters the odds.

Here in Fla when the lotto was set at the numbers 1 thru 49, I found out that the way the odds are figured mathematically is the multiplication of the last six numbers divided by the multiplication of the first six. The numbers changed and became much larger when the limit was increased to 51. So the odds on a three number drawing MAY be figured similarly. Since the numbers for a three-numbered lotto must fall between 1 and 9 and since there are only three numbers to be picked I figured on 1X2X3X4X5X6X7X8X9 divided by 1X2X3 = one chance in 60480. But since the numbers were pulled in the order that they were pulled in and the date on which they were pulled probably puts that figure in the stratosphere and suggests either god, satan, gremlins, leprechauns or conspiracy to continue public attention away from reality. I have to pick conspiracy as much as the conservatives, (Sorry Mike), who just love to trust their FBI, CIA, and other bush associates' word on what really happens in this country, say about the state-of-honesty affairs.
Remember the public joe schmoe is generally very ignorant about most things and is easily manipulated.

P.S Doesn't it strike you as odd (far too coincidental to be random) that the date of the disaster being 9/ll is the same as the nationwide emergency telephone number? Would a islamic fanatic choose an American telephone number as the date or would they choose a number related to, say, Mohammed's birthday or ObL's birthday?????

Well, my question is this. What would be the point in doing it? It's kind of silly to do that if you think about it. Also, it's just something that happened. Nothing provoked it. I mean it's like the person who folded the twenty dollar bill like a billion times to try to get the "Twin Towers" and the "Pentagon." It's just something that happened. Not everything has to be a conspiracy. Also how would they have the power to choose what numbers would be pulled? If that were so then distant relatives of the people who work for the lotto would be rich.
